Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND OTHER OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE SEGMENTS AND “OTHER” OPERATING SEGMENT
We are a global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions with operations in over 15 countries and sales in over 100 countries around the world.
Our DBT Technologies (PTY) LTD (“DBT”) operating segment is reported within an “Other” category outside of our reportable segments. We have aggregated our other operating segments into the following three reportable segments: HVAC, Detection and Measurement and Engineered Solutions. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. In determining our reportable segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Codification. Operating income or loss for each of our operating segments is determined before considering impairment and special charges, long-term incentive compensation, certain other operating expenses, and other indirect corporate expenses. This is consistent with the way our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the results of each segment.
